    Hairpin Lace - Unique and Amazing Crochet!

    Published: Mar 7, 2013 · Modified: Oct 1, 2020 by Tamara Kelly · 6 Comments

    Hairpin Lace is a technique I haven't yet had the privilege of trying - but it's definitely on the short list! One of these days I'm going to pick one up and master this fascinating technique.

    Hairpin Lace - tutorials and free #crochet patterns at Moogly

    This type of lace is made using a crochet hook and specialized loom. You make long strips, and then these strips are crocheted together. There are an infinite variety of ways that these strips can be joined. And that's how you get all the amazing projects made with this technique!

    It was popular in Victorian times, and I think it's due for a comeback. For this roundup, I've included a beginner video and a link to the most complete tutorial on the web. And a list of free patterns that will have you adding hairpin lace to your own to-do list!

    For a tutorial on how to make Hair Pin Lace using the Clover Hair Pin Lace Tool, click here!

      My grandmother taught me how to make afghans this way. For the longest time, it was the only craft I could do. I didn't realize that if I could do that, I could crochet until a friend pointed out that I had been "crocheting" all along...
      That being said, this is a very time consuming method. Hairpin lace afghans are given to every member of the family, and these afghans take much longer to make than a normal crochet afghan.
      In the end, I believe it is worth it - they last for decades and are absolutely gorgeous!
      One hint...do not buy the metal frames in the store. Have a frame made for you from wooden dowel rods. The yarn moves much better with the wood and doesn't tend to cause slips the way the metal frames do. You can also pick the thickness of your rods this way, rather than being stuck with one size.

        It looks like the blog owner moved it or took it down. The internet archive link should work for a little while: http://web.archive.org/web/20140206183327/http://crochetology.net/2012/09/hairpin-lace-popcorn-scarf/
